WP Accessibility Helper (WAH)

Beskrivning

WordPress Accessibility made easy!

Web accessibility refers to the inclusive practice of removing barriers that prevent interaction with, or access to websites, by people with disabilities. When sites are correctly designed, developed and edited, all users have equal access to information and functionality.

WP Accessibility Helper helps solve accessibility problems like font size, contrast, titles and aria-label tags, images alt and more.

Vanliga frågor

How can I report security bugs?

You can report security bugs through the Patchstack Vulnerability Disclosure Program. The Patchstack team help validate, triage and handle any security vulnerabilities. Report a security vulnerability.

I can not see the accessibility icon. What shoud I do?

Please verify that your WordPress theme has: `
wp_head();

wp_footer();
and your body tag has
body_class();
`

Font Settings

You should use REM units resize, only when your theme is built with REM units, not in PX (pixels). Zoom in/out page will be useful for websites with unclear html/css standards, a website that was overridden and fixed several times. For example, one part of a code was written in REM units, and the second part – in pixels or percents… Script base resize option will be useful for… everyone =) This script calculates font size for the next HTML tags: h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,a.

Important Notice!

WP Accessibility Helper makes it possible to improve accessibility on your website, but in any case does not guarantee 100% result (at any level: A, AA, AAA). In order for your site to be at 100% accessible to people with disabilities, you should consult an expert.

In any case, it all depends on the quality of the code of your website =)

Plugin v0.6.2.4 using WordPress 6.1.1 First, let me compliment on creating a plugin that does not create any warnings or errors in the hosting error log. Always a ”touch of class” when that happens. With that said, and correct me if I’m wrong, although the free version does allow for some options to carry over from page to page, Text resizing does not. For that reason I cannot use it as it would be too frustrating for visitors. I know the Pro version provides for it but I cannot justify the cost of it.

I’ve used some accessibility widgets for the web site I am developing but this is the best. It works perfect with screen readers and it zooms in a lot. It is the best for helping sites to meet some of the WCAG 2.2 criteria. Note: I have low vision (blindness)

I bought this plug. The author of this plugin is rude. He does not reply to the e-mail! When he writes back, it is in one sentence. As if he didn’t feel like it. He does not check the advice he gives to the client. The plugin slows down the WP backend a lot! To avoid

Warning for people wanting to buy this plugin. The author is unresponsive. He will not respond to your emails even though you pay for support. It’s been 5 days so far. Will keep updating my experience so others don’t have to go through the same thing.
